Fairleigh Dickinson University School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences operates on a rolling admissions basis for the Doctor of Pharmacy program. Application review begins early fall and continues into the spring semester each year. Due to the limited seats available in each entering class, it is recommended that applicants submit their applications early for review.

The School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences utilizes The Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS). This centralized service allows applicants to use a single application to apply to multiple programs. PharmCAS collects and processes the applications and forwards them to us. Applicants submit a web-based application comprised of biographical data, post-secondary institutions attended, academic course history, work experience, extra-curricular activities, and a personal statement. Transcripts, PCAT scores, and letters of recommendation are sent directly to PharmCAS.

Applicants should have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or better on a 4.0 scale. Applicants should have a prerequisite GPA of 2.75 or better on a 4.0 scale, with no prerequisite course grade lower than a 2.0 . A cumulative and prerequisite GPA of 3.0 or better is recommended.

Applicants whose native language is not English, and have not earned a degree at an English-speaking college or university, may be required to take either the TOEFL, IELTS, or Pearsons PTE-A exam. The minimum required score for the TOEFL is: 550 for the paper-based test, 213 for the computer-based test and 79 on the Internet-based test. For the IELTS exam: overall band score of 6.0 and for the Pearsons PTE-A exam: 53 or higher.
